In the middle of Xuanguang Hall, a huge map was hung, and Gao Weizheng discussed military and political affairs with his ministers... Chen Jun was marked with red arrows and Qi Jun was marked with black arrows, but the map was not a different situation.

Even a large number of civil officials who had only a slight understanding of military affairs could see that the main force of the Qi army had been compressed by the Chen army to a dangerous situation. The Huainan trend was almost one-sided toward the Chen army. Wang Lin, who was alone in Shouyang, would face siege from all directions and be in danger!

Gao Wei was facing the map, and under the bright candlelight, he reached out to mosuo on the drawings, as if he wanted to hold a spear in his own hand and tear open the encirclement that was so entangled that people could not breathe. However, what he could actually do was to remotely control it in Yecheng and evaluate the possible risks that might arise next.

When the scouts heard the latest news, the entire hall became quieter and almost silent. Gao Wei was actually very angry when he heard that the Southern Dynasty was against the alliance, especially when he was fighting with Yuwen Yong in Guanzhong, he was attacked from both sides and was worried about the situation in Huainan day and night. It was precisely because of this that he had just settled down in Guanzhong before he hurried back to Yecheng... But for some reason, at this time, his mentality calmed down.

The emperor looked at the map, then the generals under the steps who were soaked in the rain, and said warmly: "In this way, is the decisive battle in Huainan approaching?"

The general did not dare to look at the emperor in front of him, but only knelt down from a distance, bowed with fists and said:

"Yes, Xiao Maha raised 10,000 troops and went north from Chu County. The title he bought was said to be from Jiyin. Governor Wang said that Wu Mingche was still under Shiliang City, and Jiyin after detouring Shiliang was a purely unnecessary move. Xiao Maha's purpose of this trip must be Zhongli... The capture of Zhongli and the north of Renzhou was their purpose. As for Wu Mingche's troops, they went to take Shiliang City, then encircled and suppressed with Ren Zhong, captured Xuyi, and then joined forces to the west, and Huainan would no longer have the power to return to heaven!"

The emperor nodded: "You generals are too careful in their actions. I can give him the power of local military and political affairs in this battle, so that he will report to me without any details in the future... Since I dare to let him go back to Huainan, do I still doubt his loyalty?"

He thought for a while, then asked again: "So, Wang Lin wants me to send reinforcements to him immediately?"

"…This is exactly what the Grand Governor said in his previous memorials."

Gao Wei glanced at Zu Wei, who immediately presented the memorial. Gao Wei opened his eyes and closed it again, saying, "Okay, I probably understand what Wang Lin means." The general slowly stood up and bowed again. Just as he was about to retreat, Gao Wei suddenly waved: "Slow down!"

The general immediately stood in panic and did not dare to speak. Gao Wei stared at a bearskin cloak on the couch. Gao Shun immediately understood and put the cloak on the young general. The general immediately fell to the ground and choked out: "Your Majesty..."

Gao Wei smiled, "Go and go..."

This military general is no one else, but Wang Lin's eldest son, Wang Jing, the prince of the Baling County Prince, who was granted the imperial edict.

When the battle in Huainan began, Wang Lin summoned all his sons to Huainan, which was also one of the reasons why Wang Lin was frequently attacked in recent months... Although Wang Lin kept saying that her family was loyal to the king and the country, not many ministers in the court believed in Wang Lin's innocence. After all, Wang Lin was a surrendered minister from the south and had also ruled the other side. It was normal to feel alert in her heart. Wang Lin sent the prince here to show loyalty, and to send another signal that Huainan urgently needed reinforcements.

If you don’t believe me, I can send my son over. So, where are the reinforcements I want?

This is what Wang Lin means!

The emperor held his belt and slowly glanced at the ministers around him, asking: "Wang Lin's situation is so bad. What have Pi Jing and the past few months been doing? Could it be that he really stayed in Pengcheng for retirement? Those who said that the Southern Dynasties were weak, but they could be destroyed in one go, and urged Lu Qian and Wang Lin to fight quickly were there again? I am mute? I am now going to repel the Southern Army. Do you have any good ideas?"

To be fair, Gao Wei would have to bear at least half of the responsibility for this matter. If Gao Wei had not mobilized the entire country's troops for the West Conquest, Huainan would not have been weak. But Gao Wei himself knew this matter, but no one was so stupid that he also brought the responsibility of the emperor.

Facts also prove that Gao Wei had far underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Southern Dynasties. The changes from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties were mostly related to the specific military groups formed in the Civil War. For example, Liu Yu and Song rely on the Northern Mansion soldiers, Xiao Daocheng and Qi rely on the arms he operated when he was stationed in Huaiyin, and Xiao Yan and Liang rely on the Yongzhou armed forces... Only Chen Baxian had no experience in fighting with the north before entering Jiankang, but when he eliminated Wang Sengbian to control the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he twice defeated the Northern Qi army's crossing offensive, and was able to establish the Chen Dynasty.

A true military and military establishment.

Moreover, compared with the Song, Qi and Liang in the past, Chen suffered greater military pressure from the north, and the characteristics of military forces cooperating with the Chen royal family to fight against the north to maintain their own survival are more obvious. From this perspective, the characteristics of the Chen Dynasty's "military community" were particularly obvious. The court was unanimously supported by warlords of all sizes.

At this time, the Chen Dynasty's financial situation was very good, much richer than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, don’t let Chen Chao imagine that he was so weak... Gao Wei was stunned. Now he is really confused. According to the original historical trajectory, Chen Jun shouldn’t have been so fast. It took more than half a year to decide the battle situation in Huainan. The so-called Taijian Northern Expedition was only a passing military perspective. This time, without the constraints of the teammates like Wei Pohu, he airborne Wang Lin in advance, and the battle was still a mess...

But Gao Wei obviously ignored several details. First, the situation was different. The increasingly powerful national strength of Northern Qi made the Southern Dynasty afraid to fight a war of attrition that was beneficial to Northern Qi. Wu Mingche's promotion plan was obviously more streamlined, and he did not care about the places where he had not surrendered yet, and hit the key points.

Second, the opportunity for Huang Faxian to mobilize Hezhou was several months earlier than the original trajectory!

These two people, one is the main attacker and the other is the assist. Huang Faqiu settled the place where Wu Mingche failed to settle. Huang Faqiu did not arrange the backhand Huang Faqiu helped him arrange it. The shortcomings were filled and he had abundant military strength advantages, which made Chen Jun show an unstoppable attitude.

Wang Hong is sweating coldly now, and he is among the ministers who have urged Wang Lin to fight. At the same time, when the war situation in Huainan is getting more and more sluggish, he directly advocates not sending troops to rescue him. If this is pursued, there will be good fruits for him to eat!

Minister Yuan Wenzong's eyes collided with Zu Qi's eyes, and then made a comment: "Your Majesty's confusion in Huainan is not because of the incompetence of the general, but because of insufficient troops. Pi Jing and his troops are less than 20,000, and they must guard the key areas of Nan Xuzhou. They must not go out lightly. Without the rescue of the court, it is indeed difficult to continue. However, the army's expeditions in the west, most of the main forces did not have time to return... To win this battle, the main focus should be on Wang Lin. If Wang Lin wins, Huainan can be protected. If Wang Lin loses, Huainan will lose."

"Don't I know what you said?" Gao Wei frowned, "But where are the troops? The army has not returned yet. When my hundreds of thousands of troops return to Ye and then fight south, Wang Lin's grave grass may be more than one foot high!"

The reason why the Western Expedition was quick was that Gao Wei's troops were all placed on the front line of Fenzhou and Luoyang. Buzi was the first, and he only led the imperial court to attack the hinterland of Zhou. On the other hand, there were only some military military soldiers left in Huainan. Gao Wei had just finished a big battle. It was impossible for the troops still stranded in the pass to rescue Huainan overnight, right?

Can they fly or what?

"Yes!" Yuan Wenzong said again, "Your Majesty has forgotten that the previous severe drought in Mount Tai, and Your Majesty organized many military households during the disaster relief period. The young and strong were organized into the imperial guards, and many of them remained in Northern Xuzhou. Although they were only some military troops, they had more than 10,000 troops. Your Majesty destroyed Zhou, and most of the soldiers from Henan gathered in Nanyang and Xiangyang. You can send a group of troops from Nanyang to go east and directly support Shouyang... The court sent another group of troops from Yecheng and rushed to Pengcheng quickly. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict immediately. If it is late, there will be changes!"

The emperor was not excited when he heard this. Instead, he frowned and looked at the map, and hesitated: "Is it too late?"

Yuan Wenzong also took a deep breath, bowed and responded in a deep voice: "No matter whether it is too late or not, Huainan is far away and the court has not taken care of. We can only believe Wang Lin at the moment. I still said the same thing. If the court does not push Wang Lin's heart to avoid suspicion!"
